Every year during hunting season, men sit around campfires and talk about how far they can hit a deer with their hunting rifle. Well... what is the combat effectiveness of the hunting rifle? What type of effect does heat have on the thin barrels?
How exactly true is the famous 1984 documentary, "Red Dawn" with a group of high school students defending themselves with hunting rifles (like this Savage Model 110) and shotguns against the Russians? We find out.

Neither of you held the rifle over your head and screamed "Wolverines!", frankly I'm disappointed.
Missed opportunities.
Wrong rifle. That was an AK.
Well he did say he would have been the bad guy... only in the new one though
THE 30-06;IS STILL THE KING IN MY OPINION, IT CAN KILL ANYTHING IN NORTH AMERICA AND AFRICA, NO PROBLEMS!!!
@@Plainsimple67 .270 will always be better
Next do a practical accuracy review of a 30-30 lever action
with good ammo. not this junk that nobody hunts with.
And a 45/70 Sharps. Let's see Henry's accuracy with a Buffalo Gun
Winchester 1894(pre-'64) and some cheap Rem/Win/Fed 170gr soft points. Mine has a 26" full octagonal barrel with semi buckhorn rears and front blade about the thickness of a driver license, for a panoramic sight picture. To really bring home how things have changed, that was the 'sport' model. Ive taken a deer at almost 300yd with it, with a clean shoulder shot. It through-and-through'd and I found the mushroomed bullet on the ground, a few feet away. Perfect bullet performance.
NO NO do a FG 42 in semi auto
Well, why not go all out and get a Sharps in 45-70 just for fun?
My gandfather handed me a Savaage 110 in .30-06 when i was about 13. I am now 46 and have handed it to my 14 year old son. That rifle is a killer and has taken countless deer in the SC woods. great round and great rifle for its intended purpose.
Keep up the good work.
I own that rifle too.it never disappoints.it brings home the bacon every time.
Same gun in 7MM Remington Magnum. California. I even have the same scope.
Did you take the two trees home that you fell after the bullet exited the buck you shot? Asking for a friend.
I went to selection with Wes. His unit was headed to Afghan within a month or so afterwards. Tell him thanks for the good peer eval.
SGT SCHMEGMA will do, we have him in our SCAR17 video too
Go full on hunting fudd and do this with the cheapest .300 win mag rifle you can find with Remington core loct ammo and an $30 amazon scope
@Juan Mangas Mochas has to be fuddy aught six
Hahahahaha.
T/c compass
@C-Bomb I never understood braggarts who insult people by using derogatory names like "fudd". But then again I've probably killed twice as much game with a timber stock and probably put in more time in may nation's uniform but I'm just a "fudd" I don't know nuthin. From what I read here you aren't fit to carry a Veteran's coffin.
@C-Bomb what people say on the internet says a lot about who they are. Anonymous comments behind an internet name reveal that someone won't put their name to their words. I've got no time to teach you manners and you've got zero inclination to practice them if you knew them.
Still a great pump gun even though it is mostly plastic, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxh4su9YgU1tWmjikirWcKJbjsFLEU62Bc but with care it will last a long time. It would be neat if Crosman would make a commemorative version of this with real wood stock, but of course it would weigh more and cost more, but hey, it would be cool. The included scope is more of a toy, but it does work for backyard plinking. I prefer to use pellets for greater accuracy, but BBs are just as good for plinking. This is not a Red Ryder folks; fully pumped it is 3 times the power of a Red Ryder and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Be safe out there.
Y'all better do a RPG practical accuracy video next ;)
Nah, Davy Crockett Nuclear Cannon
Was thinking the same thing 🤣
IT'S CALLED PRACTICAL ACCURACY, NOT IMPRACTICAL NONSENSE. 😂😂
What about shotgun slugs ?

@@9HoleReviews A Tolkien fan I see
"It comes down to the tool and how you use it".
Me as I use a Cresent wrench as a hammer
I bet that savage is more accurate than the average sniper rifle used in WWII...
Actually many times more
Mostly because of ammo. Production methods have improved too, don't get me wrong, but ammo quality back then especially during the harder times, was questionable at best
@@Tool683 Ammo might have played a part, but rifles were chosen for sniper use based on their performance on the range. Given that there was a lot of discrepancy in the accuracy of rifles I would say it had mostly to do with production and design. Having collected military rifles for a while now ranging from WWI to the Vietnam era, I would say that the difference in accuracy from old rifles come from barrel production methods and more importantly the commonality of free-floated barrels. Heat warping from successive firing on a non free-floated barrel is much more than you would think especially when the guns had wood stocks.
@@matter968 - Competition shooters and armorers from the U.S. Army and Marine Corps have been accurizing rifles for service rifle matches for a very long time, probably since the 1920s. A great deal was learned about how to free-float barrels, polish and precisely-fit components, bed actions, and get triggers set up properly. Don't forget too, that some rifles don't need to be free-floated to attain excellent accuracy. Some barrels and actions are capable of fine accuracy right off the production line. Civilian George Farr used one of them to shoot seventy-one consecutive bull's-eyes in the 1,000 yard matches at Camp Perry in 1921 - and that was using issue, factory ammo and iron sights! In those days, exceptionally-accurate Springfield M1903s were called "Star Gauge" Springfields, and were specially-marked to denote their being suitable for match-grade use. Free-floating a wood-stocked rifle like a M1903 involved removing wood everywhere along the barrel except where it joined the receiver and right at the muzzle. Ammunition quality always plays a big part in high-quality, consistent results. Even a very accurate well-set up rifle can fail to fulfill expectations with sub-standard ammunition. During WWII and Korea, Army and Marine snipers using rifles chambered in 30-06 often used armor-piercing rounds instead of match-grade ammunition, as a sort of substitute standard, given how hard it was to obtain match-grade ammunition at the front. Preferably from the same lot, so that consistency from cartridge to cartridge was as good as possible. '06 AP (black tip) was apparently quite accurate, since there were some successful sharpshooters using it in both conflicts.
Almost certainly so. As recently as the Vietnam conflict, when in the mid-1960s, the Marine Corps were changing over from Winchester M70's to Remington 700's, the accuracy benchmark Remington had to meet with its M700 and M118 7.62 NATO 173-grain match was around 2-3 moa, if memory serves. Even budget bolt gun today are capable of meeting, if not exceeding, that accuracy standard, provided with high-quality ammunition, that is.
I can say with absolute certainty after hunting for 20 years and being only 35 years old that there’s a movement within the hunting community that heading more towards the “tactical” end of things. Not to say that most of us dragging the the latest and greatest sniping equipment up into our tree stands but it’s certainly not uncommon for us to use rifles with very solid chassis, heavier barrels, muzzle brakes or suppressors, higher quality optics, match grade ammunition, etc. At the end of the day it’s definitely a balance game and it depends on what you are hunting and the ranges that you are hunting at but the hunting community and especially a lot of the younger generations of hunters recognize the benefits to the higher end equipment and we are using it more and more where it makes sense. After all we aren’t just punching holes in paper, we are trying to humanely end an animals life. Accuracy should count for us as much as it does for anyone.
In the crowd. The guy with the 30.06 doesn't stand out.
I have the same rifle in .270 Winchester and the same spec 3x-9x40mm adjustable scope (Leupold Vari-X IIC)…it’s the older version with the hardwood stock and no Accutrigger.
Love it, classic rifle with a classic scope.

@zebacake4683 yea it's kinda poopy
It's amazing to see the advancement of technology in rifles and optics since WW2 where our 'budget' hunting rifles are close to, if not surpassing the rifles and optics of the war. Ballistics and bullet technology play a role as well and it certainly is interesting to see how widely adopted new products and training have caused this leap. Not saying that the older weapons are obsolete, but there is certainly more you could do now.
They are obsolete, we have better, but that doesn't mean it's useless.
@@Justin-rq6kfthen they are obsolescent, not obsolete.
The 30'06 has killed every 4 legged criter on the planet...many times over.. it has plenty of power and decent trajectory downrange. It is, the 3/4 ton pickup of cartridges, and delivers the goods in said fashion.
You are correct, sir. If I remember correctly it was the first caliber to take every big game animal in North America.
Not my first choice for large African game, but 30-06 is capable of dropping any indigenous animal found in North America.

Watching this at work now, lol
Just got done with my shift, watching on the toilet!
Savage used to be known as the most accurate out of the box hunting rifle you could buy , had no doubt myself , I'm old ,I saw things lol
Yes. The design is inherently accurate. It's put together in such a way that the head space is always practically perfect.
For the money they are hard to beat. I picked up a heavy barrel model 10 in 308. Shot so well its now in a chassis and has decent glass. If one takes the time to give the action some polish, fitting, and love they can feel really nice too. Great "hobbyist" rig.
Was it tho?
I own 5 Savage rifles. Every one is a deadly shooter.
My savage 110 Switchback is a pretty accurate rifle, it's my go to for target shooting and deer hunting. 6.5 Creedmoor seems like a good match for it too. It's a somewhat heavy rifle, but not cumbersome. It fits a decent scope, has a detachable magazine and is good for about 1.5-2.0 MOA overall. Yes the stock is a little bendy, and it sometimes has extraction and ejection problems but that doesn't make it bad. Really adore mine. Plan on getting a Tikka next, so my Savage can have a Finnish friend.

My Savage has been glass bedded and the free float improved by my local gunsmith. It helps a good deal.
This was a lot of fun and totally representative of my demographic, unfortunately, down to the backwards camo hat lol. Please do more hunting rifles in various calibers, and more vids in general since I can't get enough!
I could totally relate when they were talking groupings. It takes me at least 3 beers for my rifle to group really good. After 12 beers my rifle's groups go right out the window. I think my rifle has an alcohol problem.
That limb saver is no joke. First time i shot my 1903 A3 I had to call it quits after 37 rds fired.
Lmfao I lasted bout 60rnds cause of pride, but my shoulder wasn't nice to me the next day. I bought a limb saver a day later and can shoot it all day now! Funny how much softer an auto is cause my M1 Garand still wears the metal butt plate and I'm fine. Maybe cause ol WWI bolt guns back then are so "light"...?
@@GrySgtBubba The action of the Garand is what softens the blow. It uses the gas pressure to cycle the bolt where the Springfield is locked in place.
@@TomJunWing "how much softer an "auto" is cause"...then used my Garand as an example... Another reason why bolt rifles are harsher on felt recoil because they tend be lighter weight respective to an auto length, or if they're heavy, they're usually longer. Which the added weight and length helps mitigate some recoil.
In the new "Red Dawn" Henry would be the asian Marine in the end of the movie screaming random things on the radio to confuse the north Koreans ahaahahha

Awesome as always! I've got an old '97 Savage 112 in 223 (thats in a long action for some reason), so that gigantic bolt throw is very familiar, though mine has the 26" heavy barrel, so it weights about 4 tonne.
You should leave in the conversation. I like 20 minute vids and you guys are funny.

Jeff Cooper is quoted as saying "There isn't much that a man can't fix, with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six."
Looks like it can still fix problems at 500 yards just fine yet, with authority.
Garandasaurus, given your screen-name, maybe you know about Marine Staff Sergeant John Boitnott, one of the top-scoring USMC snipers in Korea. He used a scoped M-1 D model to take out communist soldiers at ranges up to 1250 yards - and that's using the comparatively primitive 2.5xpower Lyman Alaskan scope issued with the rifle. He rose to Master Gunnery Sergeant before retiring from the Corps in 1971. He was a two-war man, having served in WWII and Korea. Don't think he served in Vietnam during that conflict, based on what biographical data I can find. He was in the military police as his MOS by then. In other words, the late Colonel Cooper was right....
@@GeorgiaBoy1961 Bronze Star, Navy Commendation medal, 6 (six) Purple heart Medals. A very great man among great men, true Marines all. Yes, your right I am very aware of him. I had a platoon leader who was a veteran of Chosin Reservoir 1st Marine Div. He spoke of this individual, and of some exploits. He told us of the tremendous weapon that the M1 Garand was. Even standard grade rifles were capable of amazing accuracy feats. They were real deal body stackers, and were very strong melee close combat arms. My sergeant was very decorated as well and I never doubted the veracity of his deeds or accounts.
He said the M1 was a solid man killer and the 30-06 was at least half the equation. Rest in peace John Boitnott, well done.
@@Garandasaurus - Thanks for writing. An uncle on my wife's side of the family was a combat infantryman in Korea, U.S. Army. He fought in some of the toughest fighting of the war when the Chinese first came in, and ultimately made it home only after being badly-wounded. He was one of the only men in his platoon to survive Chinese human wave attacks. I helped this gentleman get his Purple Heart after a bureaucratic snafu had denied it to him back then. We spoke about his experiences one time, and he told me in no uncertain terms that if it wasn't for his faithful M-1, he doubted he'd have made it home. I'm sure many Marines and GIs felt that same way.... BTW, I wish I'd been a Marine. If I had life to live over again, I'd join the Corps. I tried to get in after 9-11, first as a trigger-puller and then - since I have civilian medical skills - as a FMF Corpsman. A year too old and unable to get an age waiver. Anyway, I have a ton of respect for Marines and their Docs...
Wow, that's a pretty awesome account. My Sergeant said whole companies were virtually annihilated by the Chinese attacks. He loved how the M1 worked in severe cold, and kept shooting when overheated and on fire. They shot till the handguards burned off! They never left the dead behind, or their weapons. The conditions they fought through were very difficult at best and terrifying at worst. My Sergeant, said the M1 was a superb rifle. He used all of them from the 03, to the M16A2. He liked ALL of them, but the M1 was really special to him. He revered the 1911 as well. Pistols were important as well because of the close distances thing came down too. Guy's sent home for relative's to send handguns to them 38 or 45 cal. I knew one guy that carried a high power in 9mm.
At least you tried, I'm sure you'd made a good Marine, with your medical training, you'd be invaluable. If you'd like to chat more feel free to fire me an email @ joesabah16@gmail.com you seem like a kindred soul. We'll talk more.
@@Garandasaurus - Hey, thanks for the kind words. Your sergeant sounds like he was a heck of a man, and a great leader. Those Old Breed Marines are something special. Is it still standard operating procedure for enlisted Marines not to be issued sidearms? Back in the old days, only officers, NCOs and certain others got them. If you weren't in that category, you had to get one on your own. It was the same even in the elite U.S. Army paratroop divisions in WWII, the 82nd A/B and 101st A/B, which is why you had guys in those units writing home to get someone to send them an old revolver or M1911. Regarding being a Corpsman, I have a lot of respect for Army medics, but I like the fact that HMs are not just combat medics, they're fighters, too. I know two different guys who were FMF HMs in Vietnam, and to hear those guys talk, they were as loaded down with weapons and ammo as any Marine when they went out on patrol. Their saying was "In combat, some times the best medicine is fire superiority." When I have had the opportunity to work alongside guys with that training in civilian life, the former HMs always know their stuff. The Navy and the Corps do a great job training them.
For sure... an impact is effective. Some part of getting impact is the shooter and some is the rifle/cartridge being used. This was a cool video. You guys rock!
I like how Henry winces like he's expecting the scope bite
So many emotions on this video. I was so excited to see a 30-06 on the practical accuracy range out to 500 and to hear it hit steel with some authority. I was nervous as all hell watching that scope come back after Henry pulls the trigger, wondering if he is gonna get scope eye. The confusion as to why this was uploaded at 0100 as if so didn't need to go to sleep. Excellent job as always gentlemen. It makes me want to take my 06 out to 500 to see how it runs.
Mine shoots sub moa at 500 with 165gr nosler ballistic tips
@@HillTrekkerSarge mine has the accu trigger, but not accu stock (bought it about 15 years ago) I believe its some kinda old bushnell scope on it. 4-12. I put a bipod on it and sanded the stock down a little in the barrel channel so it cant touch the barrel at all.
You really ain’t joking with these midnight upload times huh?

Appreciate the conversion to metric in the description, saved me a google search
Do a 3030 lever, and bolt action practical test. Its all my father ever used and he did some pretty amazing shots with it.
Honestly, Red Dawn was fairly reasonable at its time. A hunting rifle ambush against a small squad could easily work as long as they took out the radioman and officer in the first salvo (and the designated marksman, if they had one). Outranged, not really knowing where their enemy is, and with no way to call for backup, a small squad could easily be wiped out. Given the technology of its day, it was perfectly plausible. What everyone needs to realize, though, is that a lot has changed in the last 36 years. Now, everyone has a handheld radio that can reach out over 10 miles, everyone has a GPS or GLONASS locator, and everyone wears body armor. You can no longer count on being able to cripple the squad's communications before they can call for support. And thanks to GPS or GLONASS, they will know EXACTLY where to send the attack helicopters which will be armed with infrared search equipment. They WILL find you, and they WILL kill you unless you can get underground before they arrive.
Trouble is they will probably not have that Asset available ASAP since they will Use it on the Front instead (In Red Dawn they will Realistically face Category C which are the mosr Expenable with avg soldiers as Category B)Atleast until that Resistance become a bigger threat
Bullshit. I'd love to see Commies try to invade the U.S. mainland. You cannot fathom how expensive and difficult it is to forward deploy an army big enough to take a country.
I have pretty good groupings out of my Remington 700 and it’s my go to hunting gun.
For me…. It’s a great deal more difficult to determine distances in the mountains, like Afghanistan or the Rocky Mountains.
When hunting, I’ve mostly shot bolt action rifles made in the 1960’s and 70’s but I’ve also used my grandfathers Winchester model 1895 30-40, he was born in 1889 and this was his and later my scabbard rifle. I grew up on a large cattle ranch in the mountains in NM.
Anyway, maybe someone can speak on this but it seems to me when I’m shooting downhill or uphill on steep angle that I can’t count on the bullet trajectory to act exactly the same as at a lower altitude and shooting on a relatively flat field.
I think my shooting stories have grown as my mind has aged. But, I have told people that I’ve killed mule deer with the Winchester 30-40 220 grain at ranges between 500-700 yard. This rifle is open site. It literally feels like the bullet is moving slow enough to visibly see it. When it hits a deer you hear a thud and 100% of the time I’ve used it for deer hunting the deer, up to 280 lbs simply fall over dead or take two or three steps and fall over dead. I can’t say the same for the .270.
Here is what I find very interesting. Understand in the 60’s and 70’s if we needed a deer for meat, we just shot one. Often we shoot them with what ever we had in our work truck. For me, there was always a Remington 722 with a weaver 4x scope. I’ve shot coyotes, bears, mule deer, antelope, jack rabbits, fox, coyote, and pronghorns with the .222 again with no injured and lost animals.
When I was 16, a girlfriend came to visit our ranch along with her parents. The father love venison and I was trying my best to impress both of them by giving them a tour of the ranch. Anyway we saw several deer running up a gully and then the ran up the trough of a hill. As they neared the top, I whistled several short notes and the deer slowed and stopped. All I had was the .222 in the rear window rack of the 1963 Chevy pickup. I pulled it out and took a shot. Truthfully my girlfriends Dad was like… ain’t goin to happen and I was thinking…. I can do this. So I pulled the trigger. I was aiming mid mass with a guess for wind. I aimed about 25”inches above and to the left of the deer. It hit and the deer ran about 25 feet and fell over. It kicked and moved until we got up to it by driving slowly around trees and cactus. It appeared to be just over 3 tenths of a mile. We had to do a bit of weaving. So I’m guessing about 450-500 yards.
I think with the 3006 and 270… it’s very reasonable to hit a deer or use most deer rifles as a sniper platform out to 1000 yards.
ROOFTOP CHINAGUY!
I purchased a lightly used Rem783 ( with accu trigger equivalent) ( in 30-06) for a cool $100 off a buddy.
I installed a Vortex Crossfire2 6-18x scope and a generic bipod.
My issues were that the stock foreend would touch the barrel when the bipod was loaded, so I made some channels into the stock, buried 2 old carbon arrow shafts down there and sealed it with 2Ton epoxy, then sanded everything down to give the barrel ample clearance. I also filled the buttstock with quick drying silicone and lead 00Buck BBs to help with the recoil.
It actually worked like a charm and although its not a precision rifle I was amazed that I was able to shoot 350yards with it consistently with trash ammo, and even better with my hand loads. I enjoy tinkering with stuff and I appreciate this video showing that one COULD take a hunting rifle and make it somewhat into a long shooting gun.
So, what you're saying is, "a country boy can survive?"
This is my sort of hunting rifle in New Zealand 2000 - 2005. Thanks for all those wonderful videos. If there is an award for best gun shooting vlog, this vlog should win always.
"What's the difference, Jed? What's the difference between them and us?" "BECAUSE WE LIVE HERE!"
With 150 gr soft points, the .30-06 will liquify deer lungs well past 400 yards. It's an excellent round.
Do a practical accuracy on either the newly imported AES 10b RPK or the Romy PSL's!
TiborasaurusRex has a great vid on this gun with a Primary arms 4-14 x44 ... and shoot out to 1000 yrds fairly easy.
Savage makes a great rifle!!
the new ones with Al bedding block are even better. the actions are rough and ugly, but shockingly accurate. the three savages i’ve owned match and sometimes outperform most of the custom rifles i see at the line. i have one savage left in the gun case, but sold all the remingtons, the bergaras and the custom. that should tell you something
There are 4 in my safe!
I have a Winchester 70 , Parker-Hale 972-C, both chambered in 7mm Rem Mag, both have been used once a year for hunting since 1976, the Win for Deer, P&H for Moose
I have this rifle. Love it !!! best deer rifle ever.
The Tikka T3 seems to be set up straight out of the box. It would be interesting to see you test one. A friend had one in 308 and couldn’t hit a thing with it. I loaded up some 168 Hornady SPBT in new Lapua brass and found it would easily shoot into 1.5” 3-shot groups at 400 yards, and do this repeatably. He was recoil shy. My nephew also purchased one in 270 and with new brass and 130 Hornady SST shot an equal score with self shooting my custom 6.5x55 at 300m and tied for the match. I suspect with some ammo tuning and bedding these rifles could easily top that. Buying factory rifles can be a lottery: most have the potential but it only needs a bad scope or some other factor to create unpredictable results.
Savage has introduced a few innovations in their recent versions and they’ve always had a good reputation.
You obviously have the skill to get the best out of a rifle of any sort but many recreational shooters will blame anything but their abilities.
270 Winchester practical accuracy? Plz
problem is bullet selection. the barrels of almost all modern (1970+) hunting rifles are capable of quite good accuracy. most bullets produced for 270 rifles don’t take advantage of potential BC, and are usually not produced to exacting standards. that said, i’ve made consistent hits at 900y with good quality factory ammo. there’s good reason LR shooters don’t run to .270. if it had been improved as an LR cartridge from inception, things might have been different.
Thankyou for the demo. I have a similar rifle. A Savage Tactical in .308 with the heavy barrel and a Tasco Euroclass 3.5x10 30mm tube 52 mm objective scope. Never had the opportunity to take it past 300 yds. though.
I love the convo about the purpose of these rifles you shoot, pros cons about conditions etc. its something anti gun people dont understand, its not about killing its about the shot
my personal fav in a Hunting Rifle in 308 with a scope calibrated for the round , can't miss!
Excellent video as usual. I suggest a can of spray paint for your steel targets before a vid, however.
When I worked at my LGS we didn't sell the Savage line as well as we did the Remington, Winchester, Browning, Ruger, etc. Customers thought the Compass, Savage and Stoeger shotguns were garbage.
In the hands of an expert all guns are accurate. Hitchcock45 is able to hit the large gong with a compact 9mm with ease where most people can't hit the X ring at 15 yards. Why? Because he puts in time at the range.
The basic rifle with a standard 3-9x40 scope has been the go to combo for decades.
Have the Same rifle love it!! Pre accu trigger whoo!
funny how i just finished watching red dawn for the first time and then you guys come up with this video
At 500. It's still hitting with some decent force. I'm impressed.
30-06 should be hitting with better force than most the cartridges they've done videos on. Just behind 8mm, just ahead of .308.
Sinister Thoughts .308 and 30-06 have basically the same ballistics. Nice try tho lmao
I read about US soldier taking down a nazi sniper at 650 yards with non scoped garand rifle. Soldier said he gave ABOUT a 6 foot holdover and got him.. #greatestgeneration
Best P.A. video of all time! Loved the real world dichotomy of such a weapon!
A typical bolt-action hunting rifle is probably one of the most overlooked yet effective weapons out there. It's lightweight, extremely balanced and ergonomic, delivers a punch unlike anything other, and simple to maintain. If you attach a low-power optic to a hunting rifle and rely on your cartridge's point-blank trajectory, you can hit anything from arm distance to approx. 400 yards without adjusting sights or worrying about BDC.
Combine a hunting rifle with a good sidearm for indoor threats, and you're pretty well armed.
Good points, CjR, or you can do it the old-school WWI way and zero for 500-yards. Scopes in that time a century ago were primitive by today's standards. Although there were makers of fine glass and lenses, the scopes around them were often fragile and did not have repeatable adjustments. To compensate, precision marksmen often zeroed for a specific distance, such as 500 yards and then learned to hold over or under using the reticle and their knowledge of range and their load's trajectory.
Ive watched this so many times and seeing you guys crack up with inside jokes warm me up
One of the boomer's weapons during the boogaloo, besides the mosin and sks
Hey man with the new Virginia gun laws that'll go into effect my sks and mosin may be the only things i can own.
Lots of folks will get clapped by these in the luau - lots of them
The good ol' SKS, boogaloo approved.

"One of the best documentaries" I couldn't agree more
You should try a Marlin 336 chambered in 3030
Or maybe .35 Remington.
I have an old Winchester Model 70 chambered in 30-06 . It was a replica of a Famous USMC Sniper in Vietnam. Ole Carlos .
My dad bought it in the early 80s . He gave it to me when I turned 15 . I've never shot that one for accuracy. I have shot my REM 700 Alaskan Ti at 600 yards . I hit 10" at 500 yards on the 2nd shot I fired. That's good enough for me Considering not having a BDC Reticle.
I use a Wilson Combat 16" Recon Tactical 6.8SPC Upper for Deer and Hoggs . I use 100G GMX , SSA 110G Accubond or 120G SST.
For Elk I use Aero M5E1 with Wilson Combat 18" Hunter Tactical Barrel . I mainly use 165g Partition or 180g Accubond. I have used 168g TTSX. Barnes and Nosler are my go too Hunting ammo for sure .
Sean, they don't call the Winchester M70 "the rifleman's rifle" for nothing. Most Model 70s are exceptionally accurate if you feed them high-quality ammo. If the barrel is still in good shape on your old one, it ought to be live up to historical Winchester Model 70 standards. Suggestion: If it is a 1:10 twist barrel, and it probably is, then try some Hornady 168-grain or 178-grain ELD-Match loads out of it. Makes it into an absolute laser beam.
30-30 classic lever all american deer rifle next
@Infectious Legume not disagreeing with that assessment. just kinda curious what henry can pull out of his hat with it.
@Infectious Legume it would be interesting to see it tested on henry's testing platform though. of course it wouldnt make it far but it would provide an interesting perspective
Damn bro, thanks! I own this rifle. Bought from wallyworld years ago in same caliber! Always wondered what it would do with an uber competent shooter! Thanks again for the review.
Rumour has it that the next rifle is a Remington 7615............ Comon Australia needs you to do this. We don't have semi autos.
I enjoyed that video. A heavy hunting load with a true hunting rifle and a traditional 3-9 x 40 scope with a duplex reticle. You kept everything in perspective. I own two. A .300 Wetherby Vanguard and a 7mm HOWA 1500. Bi-pod and NIKON 3-9 x 40 with duplex reticle. Perfect 500 yard rifles.
Glad to see Henry was comfortable enough to help this rifle out of the closet 🤣😳
I love the Savage 110, Have had an all original wood stocked 30-06 since 1984 that I hunt with every year, one shot, one kill.
I get .75 in groups @100 with my 180 grn ballistic tip hand loads, you cant ask for better out of a factory rifle, although I did
free float the barrel many years ago. Thanks for the video guys.
Strange rifle at a strange hour...
Strange comment from a strange person
Strange. You must not know guns much. You suck ass. Matthew pham
Best production quality on TH-cam for gun channels. I love it
I just loved your starting music
That music and Henry slow climbing the stairs w/rifle slung is pretty much a requirement. Wouldn't seem right w/o it
@@1guncrazy1 agreed
The power of the 06' is insane, I've never seen those targets move so much
Those bolt lugs are THICC!
Y’all should do a video of a Winchester 1885 high wall out to 1000 yards chambered in 300 win mag
practical accuracy of rem 700 LR in.300 win mag
Good Job!! I have a Remington 700 LTR with a 3x9x50 scope. At 100 yards with Match Ammo I can shoot 5 rounds under a dime. I ran out of Match Ammo and went to K mart and bought some Winchester hunting ammo 175 gr soft point. I shot my rifle and the target looked like I had shot it with a shot gun. I thought something was wrong with my gun. I called a buddy who taught me how to shoot rifles told me to come see him. He handed me a box of Match Ammo and said go shoot again. I went back to the range and with the Match Ammo I was back to shooting like I was before. Ammo makes a big difference.
I was looking at the that AI rifle with the green stock on the back throughout the video and not really paying attention to the shooting LOLOL
2,000 yard practical accuracy when?
Id love to see you do one of these on a USMC M40 (Vietnam era) rifle. Its basically a hunting rifle.
It is not what the tool is, it is who the tool is! 😁
This channel is a breath of fresh air after a 3-4 identical channel review process
Do any rifles ever fail these videos?
Even if it takes 80 rounds to hit out to 500 they always say “oh it seems capable of these ranges”.
Honestly anything less than 70/80% of hit percentage is not capable personally.
You should do a video with the Tikka T3x Arctic. I would be cool to see what a modern iron sighted bolt gun can do.
Imagine you're a ATF agent in the boog and you get sniped from 550 yards from a boomer with a Remington 700.
Updated scope and trigger will make that thing do miracles figuratively speaking.
Change it to .308 Win, upgrade trigger, and put on a Primary Arms 4-14 ACSS .223/308 FFP scope. If the ammo is good enough and the trigger isn't terrible, you should be able to drill that steel all the way to 500 yards 90% of the time.
That DMR recticle does wonders for hunting and 800 yards or less work on .308 Win. It's once you get past that 800 yards is where a dedicated FFP scope in mils that is higly consistent in it's adjustments or the mil tree becomes critical.
I'm curious if any 9-hole reviews involved a test using that scope, that would be interesting.
Finnish Mosin: 1100yd practical accuracy.
Presicion sniper? 500yd XD
Where I've hunted in PA for years, I'm the designated 'long range' hunter because I can accurately shoot out to, ahem, 200 yards. LOL I am a high volume shooter, reloader since the '70's etc. My home range maxes out at 547 yards. The guys I've hunted with take 1 or 2 or maybe as many as 5 shots at 75 yards 'to confirm zero' before heading out and none after the hunt for a year. They get to sit in stands were a shot is going to be 50 to maybe 75 yards. That's it.
Before heading west to WY for elk and antelope the norm is numerous range trips in various weather conditions. WY distances and wind are a great equalizer!
I would like to see that rifle with a better scope and better ammo.
I would propose that the scope is just fine.. (300$ish) the ammo (25$ bx) was found at the local hardware store cuz u forgot your premium stuff, and the rifle (350$)ish, is also good enuf. That's the point of this particular shoot. Run what u brung.
@@earlelkins9086 That's exactly what we were going for in this particular run.
Hunting guns with cheap ammo will do surprising things. I can consistently shoot sub minute 5rd groups (4 short, damn) with my dad’s 80s vintage 30-06 700 BDL and 3-9 leupold with 155gr browning ammunition.
30 06 isn't still climbing at about 350 yards, shot a lot of matches with the 30 06. Good round.
Watch out for skinwalkers/goatmen while hunting.
And dogman
They just bother old ladies and sheep! LOL
@@grizbait618 Missing 411, ayylmaos are taking people
My first centerfire rifle was a Savage 110 30-06. 25 years later ive found no reason to ever replace it 👍
Of course it’s a 30-06, because every hunter knows, everything under 30-06 is basically a 22😂
I have an out of the box 110 in .308. It came from Cabelas with a Nikon BDC scope. I can make repeated hits at 600 yards using handloads. The whole set up cost me around $400.
ever since I saw Ian give you a shoutout last week, I'm hooked on your channel
06 is still such an amazing round criminally underrated by alot of folks. Its ability to be loaded down to like a 150gr all the way to like 200gr. Its so adaptable
Agreed, people forget how close the M1 Garand charge is to the .308.
Even my Howa Alpine Mountain rifle in .308 will do that all day long at Bisley Ranges out to 600yds. Not ideal and not comfortable for extended range time but it works perfectly. I am no sniper, just an average shot, but modern hunting rifles, even mass produced factory run guns are pretty reliably accurate out of the box and with solid technique and reasonable glass will get the job done. As for the hypothetical 'combat' use scenario (very odd to and Englishman!), remember; you are no less dead if hit in the right place with an airgun pellet than you are with a field artillery piece.....just enough dead, or as someone once said..."lightly killed!" Love the reviews and the humour, keep up the good work.
That bolt throw seems really smooth... Maybe i should get a savage
When dat music starts, so does my heart
I recall from the 1984 version one of the boys had a Marlin 336 presumably chambered in .30-30 and it would be awesome to see a video.
